Richard maybe I'll explain it to you better this time.

A guy on here that ordered the BCI setup payed $46 for shipping, making the total $445.

Ok, I rang up a cart at tcwo for $384.95 shipped and assembled. (With a superior mobo and case!)

$445
-$384.95
________
$60.05

And on the warranty, the BCI warranty is parts, but wtf all the manufacturers give you at least a 1yr. anyway, why pay $60 for something that you already have.

This is not hot, get it through your thick skull. (and this wasn't the cheapest either, I wanted to pick SUPERIOR parts).

To the two people that bought these, if you want to throw away cash throw it at me. :) $60 is alot to me guess it's not to you guys. (and the cheapo route would have been $80)!

Have a nice day, and God Bless. :)

Look, the bottom line is that I didnt post this deal for you. If you dont like it, I couldnt give two hoots. Im not going to get into the parts, but if you wanna save $60 and all that it entails, thats fine. I DONT CARE. Some people want different things, as I said above. You dont see me harshing on some of the crap thats hawked here, because I know some people want it. If 1 person finds this to be a good deal, then great. People here can do the research, they know the score, and they know what they are buying. It was a hot deal for me and my needs, and apparently for some others too and thats all that matters to me. Im sure youll be able to build a nice rig somewhat cheaper, and thats great, more power to ya. In the same sense youll have to deal with what I would term 'hassle' but clearly its not hassle to you, which is great. Your definition of a 'hot deal' is not the same as mine, nor are ours the same as others, which is cool, becuase we get to see a range of deals, set for different people with different needs, and ain't nothing wrong with that.

Say digim0rtal, why don't you post a link to the system that you put together for people who would like to save a few bucks instead of just blasting CoffeyCan for the link that he posted? Is that too hard for you to do? I think it was awful nice of CoffeyCan to post this and pretty $hitty of you to take the time to blast him for his efforts without anything to support it. Just my oppinion.

For crying out loud. Coffeycan is trying to point out what he thinks is a good deal. He qualifies it by saying that it was a good deal for himself and maybe not a good deal for all. And then you feel compelled to point out on several occasions that you can do better and belittle him because his deal wasn't as good as your deal. Personally, I am surprised that anyone still posts given the constant scurtiny by the deal police. Lighten up my friends, give up the pissing contest, and give the gentleman his due.

Geez if someone doesn't like the deal don't buy it and if you do like it an want to buy it great whats all the fuss about
when I look for a good deal I want it already put together cause I am just plain lousy at putting things together I can do it but a lot slower than someone else and that may be a factor that other ppl look for in a deal too

I'm not thread crapping, just mentioning... the 7ZX-1 is a bad mobo. I have it, and while it IS stable as heck, it has no multiplier changing whatsoever. Furthermore, it has no ISA slots(not much use for those). The only real compaint of all the little thing is that it hasn't much in the way of bus sped settings. There is a huge gap between 112 and 133 that needs to be filled for it.
